Flight Score
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 6.1 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,690 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 27, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,169-meter stretch of the 2,395-meter runway, which accounted for 53% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, overcoming a headwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Liverpool, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 929 feet above sea level to 33,010 feet, a vertical increase of 32,081 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile north of Bardney, Lincolnshire, and lasted for 25 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 193 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of descents and level segments, with the aircraft descending from 32,997 feet to 3,835 feet in 23 minutes and covering 135 nautical miles, before making a brief level cruise 3 miles east of Essen, Germany. The final descent phase began 2 miles east of Essen-Mülheim Airport, with the aircraft descending from 3,419 feet to 1,404 feet in 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Düsseldorf Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 23L, aligning itself with the runway from the northeast. The landing was executed at a threshold speed that was slightly above the target, at 132 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 360 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 450 nautical miles, taking 79 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,849 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 132 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 360 m was satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 126 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a touchdown rate of -258 fpm, classified as fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. This was a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach and landing phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, were favorable for the landing. The crosswind component of 2 kt was minimal, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 1,038 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
